Mary Barnard, American Imagist

Sarah Barnsley

4.9/5 (28162 ratings)

Description:Perhaps best known for her outstanding translation of Sappho, poet Mary Barnard (1909 2001) has until recently received little attention for her own work. In this book, Sarah Barnsley examines Barnard s poetry and poetics in the light of her plentiful correspondence with Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, and others. Presenting Barnard as a late Imagist, Barnsley links Barnard s search for a poetry grounded in native speech to efforts within American modernism for new forms in the American grain. Barnsley finds that where Pound and Williams began the campaign for a modern poetry liberated from the heave of the iambic pentameter, Barnard completed it through a spare but musical aesthetic derived from her studies of Greek metric and American speech rhythms, channeled through materials drawn direct from the American local. The first book on Barnard, and the first to draw on the Barnard archives at Yale s Beinecke Library, Mary Barnard, American Imagist unearths a fascinating and previously untold chapter of twentieth-century American poetry.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
